Zechariah 11:1-3

Contemporary English Version

11 Lebanon, open your gates!
Let the fire come in
    to destroy your cedar trees.
² Cry, you cypress trees!
The glorious cedars have fallen
    and are rotting.
Cry, you oak trees of Bashan!
The dense forest
    has been chopped down.
³ Listen! Shepherds are crying.
Their glorious pastures
    have been ruined.
Listen! Lions are roaring.
The forests of the Jordan Valley
    are no more to be found.
